An ideal place for student part-timers to get a wake-up call that the working life is generally hard: low pay and long hours—if they don't want to be a modern-day slave, they need to be serious in their studies.

Hands-on tasks like cleaning the toilet, sweeping the floor, flipping burgers, serving demanding customers, and motivating low-paid staff provide a good training ground for trainee managers who want a promising career in McDonald's.

The place that I work where the customers are more retarted than my coworkers. They come through the drive through to order food, and when I open the window to take their order they justwave and keep going... they then realize their mistake and try to back up while another car is going forward towards my window...

Or they stop halfway through their order to scream at their bratty kids who are beating each other in the back seat. They then forget what they have already ordered and I am forced to repeat the whole order (Hamburger only bun and pickle, fries-no salt, Big Mac only mayo and tartar sauce...) with really wierd special orders... THEN they change their mind, and by that time the food has already been made specially for them with only mayo and tartar sauce...
